Open Letter, by Terry Slaughter



Dear U:

Nothing is ever empty. Yo empty glass
is full … of air

Kids overflow’d
with possibility, now de empty

So, If u meet dem
Comin round the corner
and u stare down the barrel of
eyes full of something u don’t
recognize that can’t be reached
just listen

when dat bullet hisses “U  -  FORGOT  - ME…”

Sign’d and sincerely urs, THUGLIFE
from “The Ellipses Chronicles”

  1. I especially like the line, "and u stare down the barrel of eyes full of something u don’t recognize that can’t be reached..." Very intense.
